As far as I'm aware, and someone should correct me if this is wrong, but Google hasn't made the original ROM files available to us yet. So unless someone made a NAND backup prior to flashing anything, you're out of luck for the time being.

You can download one straight from ROM manager.

ROM Manager has the 2.3 to 2.3.1 update, not the original rom as far as I'm aware.

Another option if you don't mind manually flashing via fastboot (and assuming your bootloader is unlocked) is to grab the Nexus One system image from developer.htc.com

How to upgrade Android version when on custom ROM

So all right, I thought that when a newer version of Android came out and I am for example on CM10.1, I can update the android version and ROM by flashing a new bootloader and baseband, then flash the ROM and Gapps you want.
But today I read about someone who didn't accomplish to install a 4.2.2 ROM when he was on 4.2.1 so he installed factory image.
Can someone now please tell me what you need to do, so I am prepared when KLP arrives.
Thanks in advance!

Best advice I can give you is to learn fastboot. You can download images from Google once released and manually flash each thing that you want to update. You just unzip the files and fastboot flash them to your phone.

I think I am misunderstood.
I meant how to upgrade android version if going from a custom rom to another custom rom.
So for example CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 and going to Xenon HD Android 5.0
Thats possible right?

Most developers list instruction on how to install from different custom roms in the install method if they differ (example post#2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075444). If not, you could post in the thread of the custom rom to see if there are any special steps for that rom. I would advise reading through the first few posts of the custom rom to make double sure they didn't explain how to first.

1. Download new factory image
2. Flash bootloader and radio
3. Flash new custom ROM
4. Done
It's not that hard really

But I do have to flash factory image in fastboot? No other ways by just using CWM?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You don't, bootloader and radio should be enough, but you WILL need fastboot to get that bit done

There is a flashable zip for that. So I can just use CWM when upgrading ROMs?

I personally prefer to use fastboot but if there is a ZIP then you could try that...

Why do you prefer that even of you install the same file? But the answer on my question is that I can install a 5.0 ROM if I just flash the new bootloader and baseband?
Thank you for helping me!
Yes, as I answered that earlier
As for why I prefer fastboot - I always like to do everything manually. I then know I'VE done things right as an updater-script in a CWM ZIP file could be wrong/corrupt. It's a safety thing. Plus, once it's done it's done so I wouldn't have to do it again unless I wanted to downgrade Android to 4.x

But with CWM you also have to flash once I think? Because you dont flash it on a ROM, but before a ROM so the baseband and bootloader will last untill you install another I think?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Fastboot flashing is permanent - once flashed you don't have to do it again. A CWM ZIP can do the same but I, personally, DO NOT LIKE DOING IT THAT WAY. I don't know what else you want me to say?
Do what YOU want to do

Yeah but CM11 (or whatever it may be called) wont be ready as yes as Android 5.0 comes out, and I may use the stock ROM the first day it comes out, which I will flash in CWM so I wanted to know if I needed to do something else.

Root and install either Clockworkmod or TWRP Recovery following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654
Before flashing any custom ROM or kernel, make a nandroid backup so you can revert back if the changes cause your phone to crash.
before flashing anything, learn about your device and the basics to modding your device first. or youll soon start a "new user, help me i think i bricked my device" thread.
thanks guys.
run through maybe 5 roms now to find one that works with whatsapp and i like !!!!
Hahaha

They should all work with whatsapp as far as I know. As for liking the ROM that's completely subjective of course. Personally I doubt I could find a ROM that I actually disliked for this phone since the're mostly minor variations from stock and I like stock as well.

Official CM10.2 nightlies

Just wanted to get the word out to everybody that cyanogen is now building official nightly builds for our device. Just head over to get.cm and grab one of the builds for our device, flo.

I'll probably be installing this as soon as my tablet gets in, seeing how well my phone (d2can; running d2att) has been taking CM10.2. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Sweet. Thanks for letting us know. I'm flashing it right now =)
Is a full wipe required, coming from 10.1?
Just installed and it appears that the ROM doesn't think I've got root access, I can't even do anything that requires root. When I go and restore my backup of cleanrom 1.3 I've got root access again

I believe its because an official maintainer hasn't been selected yet, or at least they haven't announced one yet.

You have to move your tiBU folder onto legacy/ from 0/
Look at my screenshot. Go to Preferences and set your backup folder to this location... Minus the /!Ready2Flash/TitaniumBackup part. That's my personal folder location.
